80年代巨星“王子”(Prince)将在9月30日同时发行两张新专辑。 其第一张专辑名为《Art Official Age》，是自2010年的《20Ten》后他的最新个人专辑，而第二张专辑《Plectrumelectrum,》则是他与个人的新乐队3rdEyeGirl的合作专辑。此次两张专辑的重磅发布标志着Prince在离开归华纳兄弟唱片公司18年后的再次回归，在此之前他曾于1998年签约爱丽斯塔唱片(Arista Records)。Prince十分注重自己的音乐版权，他曾说：“当你阻止一个人追求梦想时他就变为了一个奴隶。而我，不能拥有自己的音乐也就失去了自我。” 本次专辑发行的首席执行官卡梅伦·斯特朗说：“Prince是极少数有远见的艺术家，他塑造并重新定义了现代音乐文化。在过去的35年里，他从未停下脚步，不断的挑战自己，不断塑造完美的声线。这一次，他给我们带来的不仅仅是一张，而是两张杰出的专辑，里面很好的展现了他难以置信的音乐才华。” 现年56岁的Prince评论《Art Official Age》是一张混合灵魂乐、布鲁斯和放克的专辑，并由他本人和创作型歌手约书亚·韦尔顿(Joshua Welton)共同制作。而另一张专辑与摇滚乐队3rdEyeGirl的吉他手 Donna Grantis、鼓手Hannah Ford和贝斯手Ida Nielsen的合作更是备受瞩目，其主打单曲《Breakfast Can Wait》已获得如潮好评。另外，Prince还将在今年于欧洲和3rdEyeGirl进行演出。 Prince在80年代是和杰克逊、麦当娜具有同等地位的歌坛巨星，且三人同岁。 (包妍妍) Prince is set to release two albums on the day next month, one with girl group 3rdEyeGirl and another solo record. The “Kiss” singer will drop his own new effort Art Official Age on 29 September while simultaneously releasing Plectrum Electrum. The tracklist for his solo album has been shared with fans and will include songs such as “Clouds”, “The Gold Standard” and “Breakfast Can Wait”. An “aggressive and menacing” rap song featuring Rita Ora is also expected. The album has been described as “classic Prince” as it has been composed, produced and performed by the musician himself. The psychedelic album sleeve has also been unveiled, showing the 56-year-old wearing space age glasses and a dazzling gold jacket.
